photodegradation

Although stabilizers may be added to retard photodegradation effects, their inclusion can substantially increase the cost of the final product.

Infrastructure and climate in the Arctic 2009

Enhanced UV-B radiation levels affect litter decomposition directly (photodegradation and mineral nutrient cycling) and indirectly (chemical changes in plant tissues) and also affect the biochemical cycling of carbon [24].

Recent advances in polycarbonate photodegradation.

Infrastructure and climate in the Arctic 2009

During the manufacture of virtually all polymer products, impurities can be introduced that make the end product susceptible to photodegradation by UV radiation.

Once solar UV radiation has broken down the plastic in the ocean to the point where its buoyancy diminishes, the plastic sinks just deep enough to prevent any further photodegradation and so there it stays, indefinitely.

Even if you have such UV-blocking windows and picture-frame glass, you cannot assume that other protections for heirlooms and valuables are unnecessary, for visible light is responsible for much fading and other forms of photodegradation.1

As for more ordinary furnishings, choose those that are as resistant to photodegradation as possible and avoid exposing them to sunlight or other light unnecessarily.
